Elizabeth Mathis

Name: Elizabeth Mathis

Lives In: Los Angeles, CA

About Me: I became a mother in the midst of a full acting and modeling career, which forced me to slow down and take it all in. I realized how inspired I was by motherhood and how much I truly wanted to create a voice for all moms, but especially moms that resembled me. While acting is still my passion, I love being part of the "mommy club", which led me to create my lifestyle and parenting website, ElizabethMxo.com. I'm excited to build a platform where I strive to share advice, keep it real, and hopefully inspire fellow mamas with a glimpse into my life.

Mama Likes: I love to pretend I am a gourmet chef (prepare meals for my family and friends and take cooking classes); I enjoy movie nights with my hubby and I am a huge fan of anything spa related!

Mama Inspiration: My mommy, hands down; she was a single mother of three who never stopped! I am also inspired by fellow mamas Jessica Alba, Tyra Banks, Ayesha Curry and Holly Robinson Pete, who make work and motherhood look flawless.

Words you live by/quotes you love: "Success lies in standing out not blending in."

Best advice you've ever been given: From one mama to another: sleep when they sleep!

Best advice you'd give to someone starting out: Find what drives you, what you love, and ask questions!

What are three things people would be surprised to know about you? I grew up a major tomboy but went to an all girls high school, I never stay in the bathroom while brushing my teeth, I secretly love children's books.
